He explained that the funds would be incorporated into the 2026 national budget to tackle the infrastructure deficit that necessitated the introduction of the double-track system.
“We are committed to ending the double-track system as part of efforts to improve the quality of Senior High School education. In line with this, President Mahama has directed Finance Minister Dr. Ato Forson to make a GHC1 billion allocation in the 2026 GETFund formula to support the transition and address the challenges that may arise,” Mr. Iddrisu said.
